Considering how long Presidents supported slavery and rejected the idea of women in politics or the workplace...
Now how Trump's world view compares to the leaders in his own time it's a different story.
The most racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted president in history

Now how Trump's world view compares to the leaders in his own time it's a different story.
How about Ike with Operation Wetback?
Operation Wetback was a system of tactical control and cooperation within the U.S. Border Patrol and alongside the Mexican government.[26] Planning between the INS, led by Gen. Joseph Swing as appointed by President Eisenhower, and the Mexican government began in early 1954 while the program was formally announced in May 1954.[27] On May 17, command teams of 12 Border Patrol agents, buses, planes, and temporary processing stations began locating, processing, and deporting Mexicans who had illegally entered the United States. A total of 750 immigration and border patrol officers and investigators; 300 jeeps, cars and buses; and seven airplanes were allocated for the operation.[28] Teams were focused on quick processing, as planes were able to coordinate with ground efforts and quickly deport people into Mexico.[29] Those deported were handed off to Mexican officials, who in turn moved them into central Mexico where there were many labor opportunities.[30] While the operation included the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago, its main targets were border areas in Texas and California.[29]
Overall, there were 1,074,277 "returns", defined as "confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deportable alien out of the United States not based on an order of removal"[31] in the first year of Operation Wetback. This included many illegal immigrants who fled to Mexico fearing arrest; over half a million from Texas alone.[32] The total number of immigration enforcement actions would fall to just 242,608 in 1955, and would continuously decline by year until 1962, when there was a slight rise in apprehended workers.[33] Despite the decline in immigration enforcement actions, the total number of Border Patrol agents more than doubled to 1,692 by 1962, and an additional plane was also added to the force.[33]
During the entirety of the Operation, border recruitment of illegal workers by American growers continued, due largely to the low cost of illegal labor, and the desire of growers to avoid the bureaucratic obstacles of the Bracero program. The continuation of illegal immigration despite the efforts of Operation Wetback was largely responsible for the failure of the program.[34]

Until recently, American society accepted racism, sexism and homophobia.... so this poll is ridiculous. Certainly Trump is the worst in terms of divergence from society's currently accepted norms, but those norms have changed greatly over time.

OnTheWayOut
This poll is based on the fact that when liberals do not get their way everything that stands in their way is some sort of social injustice. RACIST! SEXIST! HOMOPHOBIC! BIGOT!
If the left ever realizes they are their own worst enemy and actually begin to stand for something instead of attacking those they lost to, then maybe they will start being taken seriously. Blue wave? Someone shut down that wave making machine years ago...... until they find some sort of real leadership that rudderless ship is another blip on the radar. Lib's motto seems to be "if you can't beat em, attack em"! Not a recipe for success.

Yet you right wingers constantly complain about who is being allowed into Canada!!
Under an expanded refugee program that has been run badly yes.
Today I saw in a subway station a poster from a charity asking for donations for Syrian refugees for clothing etc.
Why?
Because the year the federal govt was responsible for them is up. And the photo ops are done. So they have been down loaded and abandoned by Trudeau.
You love to twist and turn stories being a right winger that you are:

https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/syrian-refugees-struggle-financially-but-are-happy-in-canada-1.3912906
But if we did the same about Trump's separation of babies from their parents, ohh boy you go really ballistic about it.
I have no issues with allowing refugees. Just the incompetent management of bringing them in and callous use of their plight for votes before walking away from really helping them.
Trudeau mentioned that on his platform that he will bring in the refugees and he kept his promise. He personally welcomed families at the airport and there were funds assigned for it. The right wingers were complaining that it was a waste of cash. You are saying that he is abandoning them. Do and he is damned, and do not do and he is damned in your view. Do you think that your cult leader Trump is not using the refugees for his political means??
Greeted them for a photo with Wynne. And abandoned to the city welfare rolls as soon as possible.
They now have to resort to begging for winter clothing. Does that sound like Trudeau did a good job and cares?
What did Harper do for them as some came under his tenure and they got a lot less help than they did under Trudeau.
Anyway, read here and tell us what more help you think that the Canadian Government should offer:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=098&top=11
So you think that they should all move into Trudeau's residence??
I guess you missed the story on the young Iranian girl in Toronto who is wowing her teachers with her scientific brilliance which aired on Global News. Surely you'll call it "fake news"
I think if Trudeau is going bring them to Canada warehousing them for a year before abandoning them to the city welfare system without ESL lessons and no cold weather clothing isn't the right way to do it.
Pretty sure being able to function with a bit of literacy and not be freezing outside is pretty basic.
No. Did she come over with the big group Trudeau brought in? As a part of any govt sponsorship? Or was it a private adoption?
And I bet at the least she did get ESL to be able to accomplish what she did ( Good for her, let her mentor others as well).
And I bet she isn't freezing walking to school either.
Thus isn't about the refugees. It's about the Trudeau govt's failure to follow up with good programs to see that all the refugees have a better chance.
No language training, job referrals, and placing them in the welfare system is not good management.
You are hilarious when you claim that the Government is "warehousing" them, while the right wingers and even The Rebel and Fox News claims that these refugees are being housed in hotels and paid for by the taxpayers. As Said do and you are damned and do not do and you are still damned by the right wingers:
https://www.therebel.media/_naming_names_of_ontario_hotels_that_housed_trudeau_s_syrian_refugees
Yes. Warehousing. No individual homes. No Esl. Families crammed into hotel rooms. For a year. And now bring moved into the welfare ranks.
Nice job......
Againyou have not read what the Canadian Government have done for these migrants. Tell us what the Conservatives did for them when Harper was PM?? I know how you have supported Harper is that respect.
We know that all these Syrian refugees appreciate what the Canadian Government have done for them. Look at the refugees from other countries who Canada absorbed on a large scale. Take a country like Uganda for example. These people absolutely love Canada. They took the same kind of help that the Canadian Government offered, and now they are thriving individuals who have businesses that employ Canadians. They have paid back more than what was offered to them a 1000 times over. But they like the Syrians, went through very tough times and took whatever help that was over and above what was offered by the Government at that time. Did you hear them complain about anything then??
Defending this govt by drawing to decades ago?
Whataboutism.
Trudeau is failing where other govt's succeeded. For over twenty years we did have a good system that included quotas to allow for logistics in assimilation. Trudeau mutliplied the numbers with no plan to accomodate the new volume.
Just for the election. Then flew them in without a real base plan to help them succeed. Just for the photo.
Then adandoned them to the civic welfare authorities once the year was up.
